The woman, Shamima Begum, had recently fled the last remaining village held by the terrorist group in Syria. In a televised interview with Sky News on Sunday, Begum asked to be allowed to return to Britain. As another woman cradled her new-born, Begum also defended her actions in Syria, saying she had only taken care of her husband and children and had never made propaganda for the Islamic State group or encouraged others to travel to Syria. She has been living in Al Hawl refugee camp in north-eastern Syria since leaving the village of Baghuz, the last speck of land under Islamic State control in Syria, as Kurdish-led forces allied with the United States closed in. Her Dutch husband, an Islamic State fighter whom she married soon after arriving in Raqqa, Syria, surrendered to Syrian fighters allied to the Kurdish-led forces.
